Abstract
Hydrocarbon reserve estimation and reservoir characterization remain critical aspects of field development planning, particularly in mature offshore basins such as the Niger Delta. This study integrates 3D seismic interpretation with petrophysical analysis to evaluate reservoir quality and estimate hydrocarbon volumes within the BUKS offshore field, Niger Delta, Nigeria. Structural interpretation of the seismic data identified a NNW-trending rollover anticline associated with four major listric growth faults (F1–F4), forming the principal trapping system in the field. Petrophysical evaluation of four wells revealed favourable reservoir properties, with average porosity values ranging from... More >
